Phone Cards, which are best for multiple calls are usually clean and have no hidden charges. These cards are especially good for calls to countries with low per minute rate (within Canada, to US, UK, China, European landline phones, and many more). They also good to make multiple calls to any other destination. We recommend this type of phone cards for most customers.

Phone Cards, which are best for a few calls, usually have the lowest rates. However, per-call service fees, applicable for every call, decrease the actual minutes, especially if multiple calls were made. We recommend these phone cards only when you plan to use $2.50 of the balance for 1 or 2 calls ($5 for 3-4 etc). If used properly, such phone cards are very efficient and may save up to 95% of regular call costs for calls to countries with high per minute rates. If you are new to calling cards or are not sure if cards with hidden charges will work good for your destination we recommend you to choose a phone card, which is recommended for multiple calls.

Phone Cards with "No Fees" deliver all advertised minutes and have minute-by minute billing. We recommend this type of calling cards for most customers.

Phone Cards with "No Hidden Fees" deliver all advertised minutes for every call, but in case when calling card is used for large number of calls, total number of minutes delivered by the card may be reduced due to certain per call service fees. Please check your calling card description for fee details. We recommend these calling cards for all types of calls, but you have to understand the fees and plan your calls appropriately.

For long calls to countries with high per minute rates you may get a better deal by using calling cards with "service fees" or other "hidden charges". These calling cards usually advertise the lowest rates, however, per-call service fees significantly decrease the actual number of delivered minutes.
If you are new to phone cards or unsure if calling cards with hidden charges work good for your country we recommend you to consider phone cards, which marked as "best for multiple calls".

Calling Cards from different service providers:

Calling Cards from different carriers may provide different quality for calls to different countries.

If you are not completely satisfied with connection, voice or line quality of calling card from one service provider, you may consider calling card from another service provider.

Please note that in most cases calling cards from the same service provider provide the same line and connection quality and only differ by rates, delivered minutes and pricing structure.

Please also note that newer (promotional) calling cards from one provider may deliver better actual minutes than older (regular) calling cards with the same rates from the same service provider.

Ontario Phone Cards always brings you the widest selection of newest calling cards from different carriers and long distance service providers.
